    I'm serious
    Just had my grandchildren up from the states. As the babies (1yr and 2yr) where going to be on the same floor as us parting adults I put a cruncher in each of their rooms. Worked like a charm and the kids where never startled by loud noises and all the commotion going on outside their rooms.
    Now the older one was a little peeved that her younger sister got the 920 in her room while she got a measy q9650, but you won't have to worry about that until the second one comes along lol

    Oh what the heck, cascade. Nothing like the sound of two compressors humming away to lull a baby to sleep.

    We will, of course, require production samples of those .2nm units ... for evaluation purposes of course.

    SOOOO, 9'ish months from now there will be a new cruncher joining the team

    LOL well there goes your daily output, you might have to sell a rig to pay for them diapers haha.

    I'm just joking mate, That is super news, I am scincerely happy for you and your wife. Nothing brings family together and renews relationships for all involved around you. A Baby is always such a blessing, and I prey he/she will be healthy and strong.

    I envy you so much, I love babies. I became so sick when mine was born. I was 1 floor down in emergency as I couldn't keep my head up long enough for the birth, so they sent me downstairs and admited me. Never got to see my daughter much for the first few years of her life because of that. So when I hear news of this I always just have to say right on.

    Enjoy every last precious second. Make sure you have a cam corder, they do such cool things some times. Wish I could have afforded one, but they were still a little pricey then.

    Please update us when the time is drawing near I would like to send you a fine high quality cigar!

    but there will always be toilets to clean, septic tanks to pump out, rotting animal corpses to collect and dispose of and, worst of all, management school graduates to put up with.

    lol congrats on the little mini-you



    The thingie about a crunching machine noise may help a baby to go to sleep, may be because the noise is somehow semiliar to the mothers whomb. Most babies I've had to deal with falls more comfortably asleep, if they get to touch your skin and hear some noise in the background.
